Although we went as a family all we saw was couples and only other family. Is a very fancy, beautiful, luxury hotel. We are planing to spend there our annyversary. It is very secluted from the main downtown of La fortuna but is worth it. The hotel has very ammenities to enjoy. Waterslide, various pools (like 15). Has termal and coold waters. You can see the Arenal volcano from every part of the hotel. The food was awesome, just the right amount and super delicious and flavorful.

This is a beautiful property that feels like a home. The view of Arenal Volcano takes your breath away! What could be more relaxing that sitting in the hot water area of the pool, drinking a frozen drink, chatting with interesting fellow guests from around the world while staring up at the volcano? It was disappointing to find out the volcano has been "asleep" for the past two years....but maybe today is the day that the fire and lava will start again. Do not miss the chance to chat with the resident artist Edgar in the restaurant area. It was a fun opportunity to watch him paint and talk with the local gentleman.

The resort and staff are amazing! My family and I were treated like first class from the moment we arrived. The room was absolutly gorgeous with a view of the volcano and great balcony to relax or nap in the hammock. There are many pools and hotsprings to choose from; it's like having your own private pool. We loved the breakfast buffet every morning while enjoying the view of the volcano. My wife and I had incredible massages in the spa and a private dinner set up by the resort. The entire family loved tubing and the staff did an awesome job with my two little boys and we have it all on video. This was by far the nicest resort and best vacation for our family!

Room Tip: We were a family of 3 adults and 2 small children. I recommend the town house style rooms

The hotel was remarkable! As others have stated, it was a gorgeous resort! The rooms were breathtaking and the river at the bottom of the hotel and the restaurant by the river was our personal favorite but only open for lunch (near the cats/monkeys) out of a movie it was so pretty! The place was great, here are a few other points of view that we had:

When we first got there one of the staff was a little intense and trying to unpack the rental car in 30 seconds while we wanted to get situated after a 4 hr car ride. he was nice, but just very very intense and hovering. You need about five minutes to gather things when you have a baby, stroller, bags, etc.- but maybe his shift was off and he wanted to go home? who knows, but it was very strange.

From a parents point of view with a small baby I didn't realize how big the resort was (my fault as it was a last minute trip) and not stroller (or wheelchair) friendly in some parts- stairs only which made it at times difficult. That being said I would still go again, perhaps though when they are old enough to walk on their own:) or they can easily hop in golf cart, and you don't have to lug stroller up and down stairs across a mile. They were however very nice- brought a crib to the room no problem for us and the staff loved the baby!!! and he loved the water!!!

We were in room 111 which as an fyi there is a friendly resident cat that also makes the patio his home (my husband has cat allergies but he loved it outside so much he just took some allergy medicine and didn't let it phase him at all). So if your allergies are really bad, I'd try a different room or higher one.

Room Tip: Room 111 has a friendly resident cat in case you have allergies.

This resort is beautiful and the rooms are spacious and nice. We had a view of the volcano while laying in bed. The large private patio area is also wonderful! They have a very nice spa and both my husband and I enjoyed massages and use of the facilities. The hot springs are a bonus and just a short walk on the property to get to them. I believe they are open to the public but this is no big deal. They also have amazing pools and outdoor swim up bar. We took the "zoo" tour and you must see it. It's small but you get to see some of the animals from the area. I believe it's actually a wildlife sanctuary which is very nice. We booked and ATV cave tour which was fun, although the caves are kind of small. The only complaint is that the resort is away from town a bit so if you stay there for all of your meals it gets expensive. You can easily call a cab though. All in all really loved this place as a resort!

We usually stay at smaller properties, seeking less crowds. Coming here in the off season, we were one of the only people at the resort. The grounds are beautiful. There are some hotsprings builts into the mountain by the river which were stunning, not to mention, there was no one else in the different pools. It was peaceful sitting in the pools overlooking the river with the volcano looming in the background. The other pools at the resort are clean and I liked that the temperature of the water was designated on the outside. It is possible to visit the resort on a day pass for $40.00 us per person and have access to the facilities. I did not find the prices of the restaurants to be over the top. They seemed standard for the area- expect US prices and to pay about$8.00 a drink, but hey, you are in the rainforest with a volcano in the background. Excellent place.
